Nutritional Love Potions

It seems that with longer life the renewed interest of enjoying all of life's simple pleasures has stayed longer on our minds. If we are living longer we have to take care of our bodily "equipment" longer to get the best things out of life for not only ourselves , but for our loved ones such as our love mates.

There have been more senior men and women who are participating in lovemaking and are rekindling the excitement that once in another age would have passed them by. The issue of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) has not only affected the senior population , but men who are fraught with diabetes, vascular insuffiency, mental blocks, pscyhological-emotional problems, lack of testorenone, alcohol and drug related problems causing ED. The resurgence in the interest of ED was noted when Senator Bob Dole participated in a television commercial for a prominent drug company. This sent millions of men to their doctors in a hurry and a slew of prescription drugs for this problem began. No sooner had the pharmaceutical interest in conquering this problem did a side effect involving blood pressure and prolonged painful erections began.

The question still remains does "one size fit all?" That is if there are various causes for ED does this mean that only one method(drug, surgery) can solve all these various causes for the same problem?

Men have had to resort to torturous injections and cumbersome implants to combat these problems especially when vascular and neurological issues were the cause. Why would a man with a emotional-psychological cause have surgery? Why would someone with Leiriche Syndrome with plaques obstructing the vessels to the anatomy take an anti-depressant for that.

In the case for women, menopause raises its "ugly" head too often for interfering in the regular sex lives of women in the peak of their lives. The Oprah Winfrey Show garnered much attention when she discussed openly about the problem of vaginal dryness, vaginal dysfunctions, dyspareunia( painful intercouse), or the case of women unable to obtain orgasm at all. Her show focused mostly again at pharmaceutical approaches to this problem with testosterone creams and ointments as well as prescription estrogen for many of these ailments. However, longterm uses of both of these can cause cancers as a side effect. Again numerous women have resorted to surgery to repair their anatomy including clitoro-plasties and pelvic surgeries to help prolapsing or falling uterus.

Again are drugs and cutting the only way to recapture the last remaining essence of pleasure in the "climax" of your peak years?

Thermogenix(http://www.tgx360.com/) has explored alternative healthy natural ways that are organic in nature that can address several issues we encounter with this problem. Again , the question remains, do all "Nano-nutritional" agents work the same or are they meant to be taken for everyone for different underlying problems. So explore the literature and experts more about them here.

HELP IS ON THE WAY
For hundreds of years indigenous and native populations have known the secrets to nature and how to sustain potency in their private lives. Herbals have always been an essential component of the "cycle of life" when it came to sexuality.

In South America, particularly Brazil -Amazonian populations have utilized various agents and Brazilian academics have taken note to this large anecdotal and historical use and resorted to their own contemporary studies that are well documented on how efficient they work.

Power and sustaining one's potency to "last" has been noted with the herb Guarana. It is a thermogenic agent that gives a boost of energy and has been reported to reduce the stickiness of platelets . This vascular effect might be enough to keep the circulation unimpeded for sinuses to swell and give that "bigger" quality.

Catuaba is another herbal that is used for its aphrodisiac power from Brazil as well. It works by enhancing libido. Another Brazilian aphrodisiac , Muira Puama, helps especially for those who can not tolerate Yohimbime or Yohimbe which are derivatives of a specific tree bark from Africa.

The South American herb Blue Passion( Passiflora Caerulea) also enahances libido by reducing the breadown of testosterone. Iporur is very well utilized particularly by women in the Amazon and is claimed to assist even in infertility as well.

In Asia natural aphrodisiacs have been known also for centuries . Those that have gained wide noteriety include Ginseng( Korean Ginseng) and Epidmedium, known infamously as the "horny goat weed".

As mentioned earlier, Africa has been a cornucopia of wealth when it comes to natural aphrodisiacs. Yohimbine and Yohimbe are derviatives that enhance libido for both men and women. women have been noted to have success with using other herbals to awaken their "inner senses" to greater climaxes. These include Pine Pollen, Anise, and Damiana.

A chemical used as a "vaso-dilator" for increasing blood flow in penile sinuses is nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide can be obtained in supplement form and acquires very good results that are lasting. It helps deliver more oxygen to the vessels and muscles to give men greater cardio-vascular power as well to improve performance in various activity.

DHEA is usually mentioned for body builders and weight lifters , but it contains aphrodisiac powers too.Other sensual activity is enhanced by it as well. So , you get a kind of two in one.

Numerous supplements taken individually or mixed in a variety of ways have helped men with ED such as L-arginine, 5-HTP, vitamin B-6, and Choline. these formulas are to be seen on a case-by-case level , however, have been noted to be extremely effective anecdotally!

Prostatitis , BPH( prostate enlargement ) and prostate cancer are rising because of our longevity , as we are still looking for cures, perhaps the best way is to prevent prostate problems from happening at all. Besides getting a prostate check annually ; adult men can do something else. They can take advantage of "Nano-Nutrition" to reduce the chances with Lycopene from tomatoes whcih as antioxidant power and the nutrient Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto can inhibit the dangerous conversion of testosterone into DHT , the form that is related to cancer. Soy has also been implicated as a healthier food choice in the prevention of prostate problems as well. Further studies are looking at this more clinically while nutritional reviews apparently have given the green flag on these possiblities already.

GYNEX FORMULA FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY

Scientist are looking at better solutions for women with menopausal symptoms. As recent studies are indicating the cardio-vascular risk of taking long term estrogens( heart attack , strokes and cancer), newer and more "green" forms of addressing this are now available. Phyto -estrogens from soy sources are one of the best alternatives now that can help. Doctors are prescribing natural progesterones and phyto-estrogens in different forms. Prometirum is another alternative for these symptoms as well.

Black Cohosh seems to regulate many mood swings associated with PMS.Evening Primrose seems to help through an essential fatty acid , GLA. It helps regulate estrogen and vaginal dryness .Aloe gel may help relieve vaginal dryness while Calendula may help with vaginal itching. Ginseng along with vitamin E may help reduce hot flashes and can be taken with Vitex.Fluid retention can be reduced with Dong Quai and Peony Powder . There are may other herbals I discuss that help menstrual and menopausal symptoms for women in my book "Thermogenix" ( http://www.tgx360.com/ ).

COUPLES COACHING

Couples need to communicate more and workout together more often. Plan to do this as regularly as possible. Having your own time to workout helps you "work out" situations. This type of forum helps de-escalate matters before they blow. Stretching together , then massaging each other enhances ones sensuality in a relationship. Be creative with it. Put rose petals in the bath, wine & dine at home to relaxing romantic music. Change roles sometimes . Guys you cook and "ladies" you initiate love maneuvers more often . Yes, this is one time you can "be easy" in more ways than one.

THE EXERCISE THEY DON'T DARE TEACH IN P.E. CLASS

There is an exercise that both men and women need to know to enhance their sensuality and sexuality as far as improving their performance with one another. It is called the Kegel. There are muscles that keep the vagina taunt . These muscles can be felt when one squeezes one's own gluteus (buttock muscles) tightly such as when voiding and then stopping immediately. This can be done for 5 to 10 seconds and released. This exercise has been known to give women greater orgasmic experiences as well as help vaginal wall weakness.

The stop and(start) void method or Kegel is good for men too because it helps control premature ejaculation, incontinence and allows for greater control of gaining sexual climax. Your parnter will appreciate you a whole lot more if you practice that one!

Cellular Metabolism and Microbiotic Dieting

Perhaps, these days too many of us appear to "yo-yo" in our diets or "get out of whack" when it comes to trying to maintain a balance in our weight and fat composition. For too long many of us have been focusing on trying to only look at whole foods rather than understand that foods are "Nano-Nutrition" that act as bio-fuels on a cellular level.

For too long we have only valued exercise as an esthetic method of measuring our beauty factor when exercise "boosts and drives" the engines that accelerate metabolism called brown fat. It has been shown that brown fat contains an extremely high amount of cell "turbo boost" fat burners called mitochondria.

This method of understanding fat mass, burning calories , and increasing lean muscle mass is the essence of metabolism or the methods of Energetics. Metabolism is a thermodynamic process and much like the Law of Thermodynamics food acts a fuel. In the face of oxygen we can "burn" calories , but like a car engine emissions, our body creastes waste by-products called free oxygen radicals which can be created . These are very toxic to the body because they can potentially create chronic illness, heart disease and cancer.

To look at food as Nano-Nuturition is how "Microbiotic Dieiting" works as opposed to Macrobiotics. To be able to see exercise as a means to raise the level of metabolism is essentially the science or energetics and ergonomics. The human body has components that mirrors machinery . We can apply and extrapolate entropy similarly.

Metabolism can be raised or lowered based on the types of foods you eat and the amount of them you consume. Activity can also lower or raise the level of metabolism based on its acceleration factor. However, the average person trying to fit into their highschool dress or bikini or prepare for an athletic event is bored by the monotonous sound bite of just "diet and exercise" is all you need to lose weight. Not only is this message not enough. It's not sexy enough!

Today herbals, supplements, anti-oxidants, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins are the "missing-link" that medical doctors and weight loss specialist either under-utilize or either they themselves are not educated enough on them to discuss, educate or recommend to others. Don't blame them, however, its their restricted curriculum.

Men have to be aware that tomatoes contain Lycopene that might slow down or prevent the risk of prostate enlargement or cancer. Saw Palmetto is also making an impact as an antioxidant on reducing symptoms of prostate problems . Saw Palmetto reduces the conversion of the male hormone testosterone into DHT, the form of testosterone associated with prostate cancer. Soy for men is also a beneficial food alternative to help with this in the diet.

Women , too, can now benefit from Black Cohosh to reduce symptoms of menopause or better yet Evening Primrose. Soy, particularly fermented soy containing phytoestrogens may prove a benefit to both men and women when it comes to trying to protect against prostate cancer and breast cancer.

There is a lot to learn and more research to be done but, for now there is hope. The paradigm shift has begun in health , right now at this moment. Thermogenix is going to put the "care" back into healthcare!
